Arresting Officer Helps Handcuffed Suspect Propose

(NEWSER) – Even in an age of high-profile marriage-proposal stunts, this one stands out as one of a kind: An Oklahoma man popped the question to his girlfriend last week while an officer arrested him on outstanding warrants. Justin Harrel of Elk City was spotted by an officer in a local park last Friday, and he had outstanding warrants for obtaining cash or merchandise by bogus check. "I advised Justin that he was under arrest and directed him to turn around and place his hands behind his back," the officer wrote in his police report.
